** excluding PHY pads

ChipX Structured ASICs are optimized for flexibility and fast time to market. They are also targeted at customers seeking an ASIC with a very low NRE. ChipX Structured ASICs combine built-in, silicon proven, industry standard configurable I/Os, memories and mixed signal IP with ChipX’s well-proven L-Cell and X-Cell™ configurable logic cells to provide industry leading performance using technology ranging from 5 V in 0.6µ process through advanced processes. Certain product families serve as platforms with pre-integrated and validated high-speed Phy interfaces and firm high-speed DDR and DDR2 memory interfaces. 

Features and Benefits

• Product families in 0.13µ HS, 0.18µ, 0.25µ and 0.35µ
• Pre-built configurable logic, memory and I/Os enable fast design implementations and rapid fabrication of the top layers of metal only.
• Re-spins and derivatives can be implemented quickly with re-synthesis and no time-consuming and risky ECOs.
• Up to 250 MHz maximum global operating frequency with greater than 20 levels of logic, 1 GHz local
• True ASIC gate count of up to 2 M usable gates using ChipX’s fine grain Structured ASIC logic fabric
• High speed, configurable embedded SRAM up to 2  Mbits. SRAM can be configured as single port, dual port or FIFO.
